I think that’s amazing. They should be lauded for that. I will put every possible effort into making sure this programme succeeds. The record labels have spent a long time questioning why this kind of TV show doesn’t exist - this is a very real opportunity for them to help prove that it can work again.

What’s standing in the way of success? One of the challenges for terrestrial broadcasters is that you don’t always get the audience at the first viewing. Look at New Girl, which got a million of its first views on 4OD, on catch-up. Homeland is a similar story. If you’re Channel 4, when you commission expensive content like this you need to be able to put it on every distribution outlet you can. And that simply hasn’t been possible with music shows. Labels have blocked it in terms of rights. That’s a really big barrier. We’ve got to make this Friday night show work, and to do that we’ve got to get over this rights issue. If people don’t tune in at 11pm at night, they’ll tune in on 4OD their iPad, or their or Tivo Box or their Xbox or their Sky Go. It needs to be available on all those devices in order to compete with Homeland. And that’s what the music industry needs to realise: it’s not competing with Top Of The Pops. That’s not the benchmark anymore.

EDITORIAL Its critics will point to falling ratings – but for the music industry, the promotional opportunities afforded by The X Factor are priceless X Factor alone can’t be responsible for industry’s woes

DEPECHE MODE’S MARTIN GORE created a hell of a storm in this magazine in recent weeks, suggesting decisive action against for his supposed blight on music. What he had to say in a Music Week interview was hardly the first attack on Cowell and The X Factor – though his remedy was unusually extreme – with them having been blamed for virtually every woe facing the music industry. They were probably even responsible for those floods the other week. Maybe then it is time for a bit of a reality check. Cowell and The X Factor’s huge influence is, of course, beyond question. And since the show came on the air eight years ago it has filled the singles and albums charts with a succession of acts, all very mainstream (this is an ITV proposition after all) and mostly pop. But it would be crazy to think any of this caused the music dynamics of the market to change in the way they have, especially when it comes to Gore in his swipe at Cowell about the lack of bands now around. The Depeche Mode man is absolutely right if he means very few groups are now penetrating the mainstream, but it is debatable how much, if anything, this has to do with Cowell and X FACTOR: The X Factor. It definitely is the case the ‘What tends to get mainstream market has changed significantly since the overlooked is that the programme debuted in years The X Factor has IT’S ALL FOR September 2004.

You do get people coming in all the time with records that have been made on computers by the artists themselves MIX OF THE BEST without a formal engineer. But all the records I’ve enjoyed have had an engineer who has massively contributed. The quality of your recording is up to the engineer, whether you’re a lo-fi band trying to sound like The Strokes or if you’re trying to make something clean and pristine like Frank Ocean. The sad thing, since I’ve been doing this, is the demise of big studios, because of what computers have allowed people to do. Also, obviously due to internet piracy, the money isn’t there from the labels to pay for expensive studios.

Like thousands of others, I’m not exaggerating when I say it became a Sunday night institution for me, and a regular staple in my musical diet. As a direct result of David Rodigan’s passion and influence, I’m a 26-year-old pop fan who’s the proud owner of numerous reggae and bass culture albums. Ever-passionate about the music he champions, but clearly saddened by his recent decision, Rodigan’s first interview since quitting Kiss brings mixed emotions. At least we know this is definitely not the last we will hear from Rodigan – as he chats frankly about terminating his tenure at Kiss FM and hints at an exciting future…

How did you come to your decision to leave Kiss? They told me that they’d made the decision to put the show on to a new time. I objected, they rejected the objection and there was a period of consideration, then they told me that they weren’t prepared to change their decision. They thought it was valid at that time, and one of the reasons was because people now listen to radio in a new way – the whole idea of the Kiss Kube, the ‘listening again’, is a very important part of people’s lives. with that for seven days and then felt that I really had to make a stand. Initially, I accepted [Kiss’s] judgement and reasoning but a week later I still found it sticking in my throat. I used the term ‘twilight zone’ about the midnight slot – and that’s not disrespectful to other broadcasters because clearly there are people who are listening to the radio at that time.

When I first started listening to your show it was two hours long… Before that, my show used to be three hours, from 7 until 10 every Monday. You know the first record played on legal Kiss was a reggae record? Pirates’ Anthem by Home T, Cocoa Tea and Shabba Ranks. That was September 1, 1990, and Gordon Mac, who was a reggae fanatic and founded Kiss, pressed play on that first record. There was the Manasseh Show, there was the Joey Jay show and there was my show. My show included charts and it was originally three hours Rodigan v3_News and Playlists 11/12/2012 12:04 Page 21
